🦋 Nature Study: Magnificent Moths

The Hidden Importance of Moths When most people think of moths, they picture little insects fluttering around a porch light at night. Some may even see them as pests. But moths are far more important than many of us realize. These small creatures play a big role in keeping our environment balanced, and they can even tell us important things about the health of our world. Moths as Pollinators Moth Like butterflies, moths help pollinate flowers. What makes moths special is that they are active at night. This means they take over when bees and butterflies are resting. Some plants even depend on moths for pollination because their flowers only open after dark. Without moths, many nighttime-blooming plants would struggle to survive. A Food Source for Wildlife Moths are a key part of the food chain. Birds, bats, frogs, and even some small mammals rely on moths and their caterpillars for food.

Best Independent Play Toddler Toys: Building Blocks

Hello Parents & Caregivers,

I hope this 2021 finds you well and in some state of normalcy (if that can ever be a thing again). Most of us are still homeschooling and it can prove challenging especially for that 1 - 4 yr old age group where they are not yet even of school age. To lighten some of the burden and the uncertainty (which can be draining) I've come up with a rolling list of toys and activities that provide the opportunity for lots of open ended play for your little one while you work from home.

So let's dive right into it. Building blocks! They're great, they're diverse there are so many options on the market affordable and high end. Whatever option you choose building blocks are great because they are open-ended toys that allow young children to use their imaginations to create, to build, to imagine and reimagine places, things, events etc in a tangible way, over and over again. They can create whole worlds and create props to express and explain their current interests and fascinations - if you listen. 

Recently, one of my toddlers used building blocks to create a museum which was shocking to me as I had no idea he knew anything about museums. This was great for me as I had something new and interesting I could now share with my toddler. I like museums and I've frequented a few so this was my opportunity to share my knowledge and passion with my child. Building blocks did that! 

Here are some of my building block favorites. If you have any favorites you'd like to share with our growing Tot Tutor community - comment below!
